Berry picking tips

The patch gets picked out most days. Come close to opening for the best picking, because later in the day there’s no guarantee berries are left.

Wear closed-toe shoes

The patch can have grass, bugs, dirt and sand to walk through.

Only pick open rows

Please pick only the crops that are open, even if you see other ripe produce.

Save room for ice cream

Grab seasonal flavors of our famous homemade ice cream at the Farm Store.
